You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of www/firefox
without deleting it first, set the variable FORCE_PKG_REGISTER
in your environment or the make install command line.

Hi, this is my first time responding so forgive me if my etiquette is
not as it should be.
I'm certainly no expert and I genuinely mean that. Having made that
clear up front here is what I would try: (I'm assuming you are building
from the sources and not packages)
1: I guess I'd make sure there were no remnants remaining from previous
failed firefox installs in directories like /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin,
/usr/X11/bin etc. I don't think make clean takes care of this.
2: I believe there is a package database in use here but I'm not sure.
If there is a database perhaps it is in an inconsistent state and needs
to be rebuilt, if that is still possible. If you use a ports management
utility like portupgrade (as an example I'm familiar with) then it is
possible for the database to sometimes be broken or so I have read. To
determine and fix this I have read (and this is what I do) that it is
good to run pkgdb -F. This finds and fixes database inconsistencies.
I ran into trouble using the make install clean routine when I was
building KDE. I switched to using a combination of portsnap,
portupgrade, and the port-maintenance-tools
Warning: Use due diligence. Double check these procedures for
yourself
Let's make our ports management a little more robust
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
make install clean
from any directory
portupgrade -r portsnap
portsnap fetch
portsnap extract{only if you've never ran portsnap before}
portsnap upgrade
portupgrade -Nr port-maint {get port-maintenance-tools port}
portupgrade -Nr portman {this gets portman and portmanager}
portsdb -u
pkgdb -F
portaudit -dfa {man portaudit to verify f or F }
portupgrade -Nr firefox
Warning: Use due diligence. Double check these procedures for
yourself
There maybe tools here you don't absolutely need but you never know when
they will be useful.
The next ports management system I want to try out is using CVS instead
of portsnap. This then allows a utility like portdowngrade to look at
CVS commits to decide how to uninstall rollback a bad installation, so
I've read.
I hope this helps
Best regards,
